Platylomia operculata Distant, 1913

Platylomia operculata Distant, 1913 View in CoL

Remarks. This species was synonymized with P. radha (Distant, 1881) by Beuk (1998) but resurrected by Boulard (2005). Although Wang & Wei (2014) mentioned in the introduction the resurrection of P. operculata , the authors didn’t include it in the key to the species of Platylomia of China. A possibility is that they still considered P. operculata as junior synonym of P. radha because they did not have access to Boulard’s article or disagreed with the resurrection. I retain it in the Chinese fauna but the actual range of the species needs further investigation.
